<strong>Operative</strong> <strong>Technique</strong><br />
Approaches<br />
Chamay-type approach*<br />
The skin approach is curvilinear or<br />
linear dorsal. The incision starts at<br />
the base of P1 and ends at the base<br />
of P2.<br />
3 - 4cm<br />
Proceed with the incision of the<br />
extensor apparatus. The incision starts<br />
from the distal base of P2, at the union<br />
of the lateral slips and of the central<br />
slip and ends in a V or U-shape at the<br />
proximal metaphysis of P1.<br />
Note:<br />
Take care not to incise the<br />
periosteum. It must remain<br />
intact to prevent adhesions<br />
with the tendon.<br />
Lift back the V or U-shape flap of the<br />
extensor. If necessary, proceed with<br />
a resection, exercising caution with<br />
respect to the distal osteophyte.<br />
